Hi Everyone. This question came into my mailbox last week and I don't know the answer since we haven't done this before but I thought I would post it here and hopefully someone can help! Thanks! Laura

Our university has been award an NIH grant and the Professor who was awarded now wants to subgrant money to a company.  We have never subgranted out of a NIH to a company before, so this is new.  We have subgranted to other universities though.  This company is named in the application to the NIH and is working collaboratively with our Professor.  My question is – what contract template should we put in place?  There are a few templates I have used in the past with other universities from the FDP website, which include:

• FDP Research Subaward Facepage - Cost Reimbursable (PDF)
• FDP Research Subaward Facepage - Fixed Price (PDF)

I don’t believe the above are appropriate templates but appreciate any input you may have to offer. Is there a template that your institution has used when subgranting to a company that you can share?

Hi Laura,

I believe that the FDP template can be used.

Since the NIH Grants Policy Statement specifically addresses grants to for-profit organizations, you may want to highlight these terms to the company:  http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/HTML5/section_18/18.4_administrative_requirements.htm
